Arianne & George’s Waverly Oaks Wedding

Arianne and George had the most beautiful day at Waverly Oaks. With the perfect mix of gorgeous fall weather, a stunning location, and the love of their closest friends and family, everything came together effortlessly. Waverly Oaks Golf Club provided the ideal backdrop for a celebration that felt relaxed, joyful, and full of heart.

Engagement Photos

I first met Arianne and George the winter before their wedding for their engagement session. They chose a new location for me in Boston, one that was extra special because it’s where they got engaged. From the moment I met them, it was clear how much love and respect they have for each other. It all felt so natural and effortless. I remember one moment in particular: I asked them to pretend I wasn’t there and just enjoy being together. Without hesitation, George started twirling Arianne and dancing with her, something they love to do at home. It was pure joy and so authentically them.

Getting Ready

Fast forward to their wedding day in October. We started the morning at a nearby hotel for getting ready photos. Everything was so smooth and organized, thanks in large part to Arianne, who is incredibly on top of things, and her amazing bridal party and mom, who were beyond helpful. They had everything laid out and even reserved a separate room free of hair and makeup products so we had a clean, clutter-free space for photos.

I can’t stress this enough. Assigning tasks to your bridal party really makes the day easier. Because they were so prepared, I was able to start with flat-lay photos in that clean space. Not only did they have gorgeous details ready for me to photograph, but their florist (thank you @texturefloraldesign) also provided the most stunning floral accents. It made such a difference and truly elevated the entire gallery.

First Look, Private Vows & Portraits

Arianne and George chose to do a first look and share private vows before their ceremony, and honestly, it’s one of my favorite parts of the day. Even with two photographers and two videographers present, it still felt incredibly intimate. They were completely focused on each other and those quiet, emotional moments before becoming husband and wife.

After their first look, we moved right into portraits. While we did more photos later in the day, this gave us a beautiful variety and helped the timeline stay relaxed. We also took advantage of this time to do wedding party and family photos. One of the best parts of doing a first look is that you get to spend more time with your soon-to-be spouse, shake off some of those pre-ceremony nerves, and get all the formal photos done early. That way, after the ceremony, your wedding party and family can head straight to cocktail hour, and you can take a few more photos and get a minute to breathe!

Ceremony

The ceremony was held outside at Waverly Oaks, just as the sun began to set, and the lighting was absolutely beautiful. There was a soft golden glow over everything, creating the most romantic atmosphere. Arianne looked radiant as she walked down the aisle, and even though she and George had already seen each other during their first look, the emotion on their faces made it feel like they were seeing each other for the first time all over again.

Their ceremony was filled with so much love and joy, and they ended it with the best dip kiss I’ve ever seen. It was such a fun, cinematic moment that perfectly captured their energy as a couple. Everyone was cheering, and you could just feel how happy and present they were in that moment.

Sunset Photos

After the ceremony, we took full advantage of the setting sun to capture those dreamy golden hour portraits. We hopped on a golf cart and explored a few beautiful spots around the property before heading back up to the venue to finish the rest. The sunset did not disappoint, it gave us the softest, most magical light, and Arianne and George looked absolutely stunning. It was such a peaceful, fun moment for them to soak everything in before heading into the excitement of the reception.

Reception

By the time the reception began, everyone was ready to celebrate. The evening kicked off with a beautiful first dance, followed by two sweet dances with their moms that had everyone smiling. One of the most touching moments was a surprise anniversary dance dedicated to Arianne’s aunt and uncle—who now share a wedding anniversary with them. It was such a thoughtful gesture and had the whole room cheering.

From there, the dance floor stayed full all night. The kids especially brought the energy, showing off their best moves and keeping the party going strong. It was the perfect end to a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

Arianne and George’s wedding at Waverly Oaks was such a beautiful reminder of why I love what I do. From emotional vows and golden hour portraits to thoughtful details and nonstop dancing, their day was filled with so much joy and intention. It was truly an honor to be a part of it.
